I'm going to have to stock up over the weekend - the grocery workers' union in looking at striking starting next Wednesday, unless the big grocery chains can work out an agreement. I have limited space, but I think some non-unionized stores might stay open. And I usually try to get my fresh fruit and veggies from the Sunday farmers' market.

I've had the pneumonia vaccine twice ... and got sick (fever, feeling lousy, etc.) both times. Last time, the doctor nagged me into having it - never again.

On the lighter side, meet Eleanor the Echidna. And taste tests by Maya the Samoyed.

I work with nurses and they don't seem overly concerned. But maybe I need a food source beyond Bullion dudes if I run out of my weekly grocery thing. I now have the diabetes, so there are actually few things I can eat that are stock-up able, at least in my "reversed" state which basically means I only eat fresh meat and fresh vegetables!

Can you do frozen in a pinch? I know that canned veggies are high in salt (although you can rinse them and that helps somewhat), but frozen veggies seem like they'd be okay. And I know you can buy frozen grilled chicken; I'm not sure about beef or pork. And definitely frozen fish.

I can do frozen! Maybe I need a freezer? In only have an apartment sized fridge, so my freezer capacity is tiny. I generally have just been buying enough to eat each couple of days to avoid hoarding as well, so this is weird. Maybe this weekend I will look into a small freezer.

Ironically I've been "self-isolating" for years and now that there's a pandemic threatening us, I'm about to get a roommate and possibly a job I have to leave my house for. But my spoon supply is so low I can't worry about Corvid-19. I'll wash my hands and avoid people as much as I can, which I do anyway.

Same here, although I don't emphasize "fresh". Mainly because I hate to cook and I hate to shop. I was really strict the first few months after I was diagnosed, but I've relaxed my vigilance a little now. My A1C was 6.6 last month, and the meds seem to be working so well, if I don't eat some carbs I get to feeling bad.

Most fun typo all week. Just add water!

Bags of frozen chicken thighs, box coco milk, more butter, bacon, and more booze. I could do a few weeks on that only running out for fresh greens and tomatoes.

OMG Bullion Dudes! I am so sorry!

Maybe I need to get 5,000 cans of tuna? I am good with creamed tuna (but I need fresh cream)

To prepare Bullion Dudes, simply dissolve in Billionaire's Tears.
